Dumbo Feather

Since 2003, Dumbo Feather magazine has provided a platform for people to tell their stories. The people in our pages aren’t always famous; they are changemakers, leaders, artists, writers, lawyers, activists, philosophers, teachers, builders and scientists – all using their craft to make the world a better place. By telling their story, they inspire others to do the same. Besides our three print magazines a year, we host the Dumbo Feather Podcast, events and an online community.
